Ram Kapoor abuse secret: Popular TV actor Ram Kapoor is currently in the news for his reality show ‘Lock Up 2’. In the special episode of the show’s ‘Judgement Day’, he shared an experience from his life that he had kept hidden from the world for many years. He spoke publicly for the first time about the sexual harassment incident that he had faced while studying in a boarding school.

In the show, Ram said, “I was sexually harassed in boarding school. When I remember, at the age of thirteen, we used to sit in the same room after school. We used to chat, have fun. One of us was a class 10 student, who was sitting on the bed with me. He touched me inappropriately from under the covers. There were about 30-40 other students sitting in the same room. At that moment, I couldn’t say anything and was stunned.”

I couldn’t do anything in that situation, so he tried to touch me more. I didn’t know what was happening to me. I didn’t know whether I should do something or just endure what was happening. I don’t know how, but after a long time I told him that I wasn’t feeling well. He stopped at that moment and immediately left the room. After this incident, I had changed a lot, I had become mute and was living in that mental trauma.

Ram further explained that the boy who had touched him inappropriately came forward and apologised to the actor. He felt guilty every day. Ram said, “It’s strange, but the person who gave me mental shock also helped me. We became good friends. All the credit goes to him; he tried so hard. This is a secret that no one in my family knows except my wife Gautami Kapoor, let alone my children.”

“Even today, I feel that shock, but I am very happy that it happened to me. Because of that, I am not afraid of the gay community at all. Whenever I meet people like Sufi Motiwala, I feel a strong connection with them; I am not afraid of them. They may not understand me, but I do not see any negativity in them. The person was not wrong; at that age, hormones are in high gear, so the person was just a little excited.” I give credit to the person because he tried hard to get me out of that shock, he was not a bad person really.
